The review said it does have a tendency to over heat. But for the price and 16gb ram I'm very tempted

I just read through a review and it says that the battery life whilst gaming is only 1 hour and a half. Is FM a heavy game that would lead to a shorter battery life like that?

That's exactly the same one I came up with - I didn't click your link - I was just searching before looking at what you found.

I'd go with that.

Do you think that the HP pavilion laptop would overheat playing FM? That is the only game I would be playing.

This what I'm contemplating getting. However the review says it gets hot quickly, and the hinge is in a weird place so I'm in 2 minds. I don't know whether to get a i7-8750H with 1050 or 1060 graphics card. I'm not too fussed about 3d. Much prefer 2d and longevity in my saves and the laptop being future proof

Yup same concerns here. I've had enough of laptops overheating pretty quickly.

Whereas they are fine and no problem whatsoever - the below is ok and a bit better too - it has a slightly better graphics card.

However, I think either of the ones you selected will be just fine for FM - the graphics card will be fine. 

The difference being the processor is 1060 in the one I have linked, it's just a step up, but the processor is not as good as the one you have linked.

The graphics card isn't too much of a concern for me. The main things I'm looking for are the battery life and performance in terms of speed. https://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/5WA67EAABU-HP-Pavilion-Gaming-15-cx0018na_2453614.html Do you think this laptop is worth the step up in price for the battery life, RAM, and graphics card?

Hi @Smurf and @JordanMillward_1 I'm looking for the best laptop that I can get for under £800. Looking to use it for FM, some work and netflix.

I have found these two laptops which are around my price range. Will the geoforce gtx 1050ti be good enough to run FM19? Also if you can find something better (if they are good) for a similar price can you please try? I am based in London if that helps. I am looking to upgrade the ram to 16gb later on as I would like to keep the laptop in that £700-800 range. The battery life states on the P6705 laptop that it lasts for up to 5-6 hours is that the bare minimum usage or would it last for that long playing FM for example?

Thanks for any help.
